Tuesday: The Transforming Power of God’s Presence

---

Anchor Verse:

2 Corinthians 3:17 (NIV) – “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

In a Nutshell:

God’s presence isn’t just comforting—it’s life-changing. When we allow Him to move in our lives, He breaks chains, brings healing, and renews our minds.

Unpacking the Word:

Many people seek God’s presence for comfort, but do we also allow Him to transform us? In the sermon, we heard testimonies of people set free from fear, sickness, and despair when they encountered God. His presence is not passive; it actively changes hearts, renews minds, and brings deliverance.

The Bible tells us that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. This means that in God’s presence, addiction loses its grip, fear fades, and brokenness is restored. Sometimes, we hold on to things that keep us from experiencing this freedom—whether it’s past mistakes, doubt, or the need for control.

God wants us to come to Him with open hearts, willing to be changed. The more time we spend with Him, the more we become like Him. Just like Moses’ face shone after spending time with God (Exodus 34:29), our lives reflect His glory when we remain in His presence.

Pause and Reflect:

• What areas of your life need transformation through God’s presence?
• Are there any fears or struggles you need to surrender to Him today?
• How can you create space for the Holy Spirit to work in your life?

Faith in Action:

• Take 15 minutes to pray, asking God to reveal areas where He wants to bring change.
• Identify one habit or mindset that needs to shift and surrender it to God in prayer.
• Journal a testimony of how God has changed you in the past—it will remind you of His power.

A Moment With God:

Ask God to break any strongholds in your life and fill you with His freedom. Invite the Holy Spirit to transform your heart and mind.
